Chrome intake with K&N

Re: Chrome intake with K&N
Many years ago when the so called oil bath high air flow filters came out
many of us who ride motorcycles switched. A very bad idea, as it is today
too much stuff gets through it does not burn and guess what, it scores the
cylinder walls causing the bike to be rebuilt way before it is time to.
Still today K&N and others sell them and still people buy them. The same
holds true for autos many manufacturers do not recommend the use of the oil
bath high flow filters. Penny wise and pound foolish and they are no
bargain.

The intake on the box that was taken off was in virtually the same
location in the engine compartment as the intake I had put on. How could
the original get air from somewhere that the new intake couldn't? There
was no "outside" intake on the original. And the original intake had no
air dam/shield between it and the engine. I'm not making any radical
claims for the setup although I am very happy with my mileage and
